Carrot, Rock Candy Halwa/Carrot Kalkandu Halwa

Rock Candy/Sugar Candy is known as Kalkandu in Tamil. Usually used in many traditional Tamil sweet, these sugar candy have their important place in most of the South Indian's pantries. One of the traditional dish prepared with rice and sugar candy is Kalkandu Pongal. When i picked 'No Bake desserts' as theme for this week's blogging marathon, initially i want to go with no bake cheesecakes. Since am in summer cleaning process, i want to finish few ingredients sitting in my pantry for a while. Obviously i used sugar candies for making a delicious carrot halwa to stick with the theme.

Grated carrot cooked in milk and sugar candies makes this droolworthy carrot halwa, apart from it this halwa goes for usual ingredients. When served slightly warm, this halwa tastes absolutely fantabulous. Served along with some scoop of vanilla icecream, this dessert will definitely anyone's tastebuds.
